Hi! I haven't found any posts about this, so if this turns out to be a really basic or silly question, sorry I still don't know VX Ace all that well. Basically I was wondering if it's possible, using a script call or something like that, to swap the text box graphic with another one? There's a portion in my game where the player plays a little mini rpg game, and I'd really like to change the text box graphic just for that section. I know I could technically just make a picture of a text box and just have text over-top it with a transparent text box, but that also won't help when it comes to the menus and when options have to appear. Is this something possible with a simple script or event call, or would I need to seek out/commission some kind of script just to do this? Thanks in advance, and if any more info is needed I can happily provide any screenshots and information necessary! (-:

I believe you are referring to the Windowskin. Yes it can certainly be changed. What is the script for the mini game?

Oh, there's no script for the mini game! It's like a separate map with separate sprites and all that. It's basically the exact same thing as having the windowskin change anywhere else in the game, if that makes sense haha

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
